A critical function of a manager involves the understanding of the organisational goals and strategies, and translating these focuses into actionable departmental plans on a daily basis. At the same time, he must be aware of the organisational policies, philosophies, guiding principles and values which direct how his team is to carry out their work. Through the process, the manager will be able to establish a clear direction of where the team is heading, communicate the top priorities for his team to focus on, and engage them on an ongoing basis to better deliver the desired results.
